With only a few seconds to read billboard copy, the best way to help drivers is to get to the point quickly. This can be done using a small amount of text - no more than ten words, one or two images, and your logo.
When selecting a type font, stay clear of fonts that look handwritten, fancy, or are generally hard to read. Instead, choose clean and familiar fonts.
